Google has celebrated baseball through several interactive Doodle games over the years. One notable example is the “Doodle Baseball” game released in 2011 to mark the start of the Major League Baseball season. In this game, players take on the role of a batter, aiming to hit as many home runs as possible.
Another memorable baseball-themed Doodle was featured on July 4, 2019. This interactive game allowed users to play as various personified food items, each with unique abilities, in a baseball game. Players could collect baseball cards featuring characters like H-Dog, Triple, and Wild Slice.
For those interested in experiencing these games, the 2011 “Doodle Baseball” game can be played on various online platforms. Additionally, the 2019 July 4th Doodle is accessible through Google’s official Doodles archive
Beyond Doodles, Google has also been involved in enhancing baseball experiences through technology. For instance, Major League Baseball (MLB) utilizes Statcast, a system built on Google Cloud, to analyze player movements and athletic abilities, providing fans with advanced statistics and insights.
In summary, Google’s engagement with baseball spans from interactive games that celebrate the sport to technological advancements that enrich fan experiences.
